The beta version of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has been released. "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server follows in the footsteps of Ubuntu 7.10 with even
more virtualization support and security enhancements - enabling AppArmor
for more applications by default, improving protection of kernel memory
against attacks, and supporting KVM and iSCSI technologies out of the box. The Ubuntu 8.04 family of variants, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, UbuntuStudio, and
Mythbuntu, also reach beta status today."

Six months is too often for OS releases. I could get behind decently polished yearly releases, but I've been doing six month upgrades since 5.10 or so and I'm sick of it. Especially since every upgrade seems to break something really inconvenient at random.
That's why I moved back to Debian (lenny). You have one release that get's updated and you don't have to reinstall and have lots of issues all the time. Also, Debian has better QA, boots faster, feels faster. I don't miss Ubuntu.
